A LIVERPOOL house was cordoned off by police today after it was hit by bullets.

Police are trying to identify the weapon used in the attack in Edge Lane Drive, Broadgreen, at 11.45pm.

It is believed there were people in the house, but no-one was injured.

The shots shattered one window and created a large hole in the centre of a second window.

Three shotgun pellets were also found on the pavement outside.

Police had today taped off the entrance to the house as well as the front entrance to Oak Vale medical centre next door.

A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: "I heard three shots. I just thought it was fireworks. I looked out of the window and saw a small metallic blue Honda driving away. I did not realise it was a shot until I went outside and saw the window.

"The kids slept through it and they were in the front room. The police came soon after that."
